Furn ElHarra (Arabic for "the neighborhood bakery") is a collaborative, site-specific installation with Christian Sleiman, that transforms 200Cent into a functioning Lebanese bakery-improvised, familiar, and dislocated.
We reach for what we know: we plant, we cook, we rebuild. We gather fragments-gestures that bind us to the past while forging space for something new.
Headlines blur across time. New wars echo old ones. Migration becomes less a rupture than a rhythm. The clock in the bakery loops endlessly. Bread is made even when no one is there to eat.
The smell of za'atar invites pause, even if briefly. The city absorbs its presence without fully knowing what it means.
Like other spaces shaped by migrating communities,
the bakery opens small cracks in the structures surrounding it-glimpses of
another way to exist, not built on permanence, but on relation.
